Espresso Martini Cocktail Kit Top Tip:

An Espresso Martini Cocktail tastes best when served refreshingly cold. Hence, we recommend having plenty of ice to stir your drink with, plus having some fun flair with your serve. 

To get the satisfying frothy Espresso Martini, you will need to shake your drink hard in a jam jar, a sports bottle or a cocktail shaker. Additionally, It's super fun and a great competition amongst friends to see who can get the most froth! Of course, if you aren't satisfied with your froth, you can always strain out the ice and shake it again to get more. 

Espresso Martini History

The grown-up version of a vodka red bull, the Espresso Martini is one of London's most ordered cocktails. In short, the drink consists of a shot of vodka, a shot of espresso and a shot of coffee liqueur. Traditionally garnished with three coffee beans in a petal formation. Significantly, The three beans represent health, wealth and happiness. 

The Espresso Martini was created by drinks legend Dick Bradsell in 1983. So, a famous supermodel asked for a drink that would "wake her up and f**k her up" at Soho Brasserie in London.

Certainly, the crema on top of the coffee is key to making the Espresso Martini look incredible and taste amazing. To make it look extra fresh, We recommend putting ice in your glass while you make your drink or putting it in the freezer to chill the glass. Then remove ice from the freezer when ready to pour and serve your drink.

There are a lot of exciting twists on this simple, classic drink. First, from different base spirits - rum espresso martini or tequila-based. But more exciting are the flavoured variations. The Chocolate Orange Espresso Martini, which is perfect for Christmas time. The Guinness Espresso Martini  is ideal for an excellent crema.
